Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Chapter 248: Special

Everyone seemed to be more inclined to treat Kashiwa Miki's words as a tasteless joke, and even Aine herself laughed awkwardly.

Lao Ke: Ave Mujica is currently in need of a temporary top guitarist. I think...

Aine: It’s very special.

"I'm not kidding," Kashiwa Sanhui seemed to feel that his words were not taken seriously, and he emphasized it again very seriously. "Aine is actually really good. I think Aine is amazing!"

Well, now even the joke is gone. Kashiwa Miki's trust in Aine, which came from nowhere, is simply putting Aine on the spot... At least that's what Aine herself thinks.

Now the scene inside this large mansion overlooking the sea and the river is somewhat similar to that of ordinary people:

Deng is a little protective and doesn't want to let Aiyin go to Chuhua to be the top guitarist, but he doesn't dare to go against Baihe Sanhui's wishes. After thinking it over, he can only lower his head in a depressed mood.

Su Shi felt that it was impossible for Aine to make a guest appearance at Ave Mujica - it was not that she thought Aine's loyalty to mygo would make her give up the opportunity to perform on the same stage with her idol, but she was very skeptical whether her pink-haired guitarist's professional level could compare to that of the cleaning lady downstairs.

As for Li Xi's thoughts...

"That's impossible, isn't it? Aine is a pretty good singer. She performed really well at karaoke last time, but she can't play guitar, no matter how hard I try."

"That's right, even if Ke-chan likes me, you can't ignore the facts and say nonsense like that. I still have a long time to practice my guitar."

Well, although there seemed to be something wrong with Aine talking to herself, since everyone thought so, Kashiwa Miki could only obey and changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this for now. In the afternoon, Aine and I bought gifts for you."

What an abrupt change of subject. It would be better to say that Kashiwa Sanhui just doesn't like to read air, and even if he does, he's not willing to defend it. He just says whatever he wants... but the prerequisite for doing so is that he has to be popular with everyone.

Kashiwa Miki put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, and accompanied Aine to show off the results of their afternoon raid on the Shibuya department store one by one - the mygo forces plus the eleven people from Endless crychic, each of them received a small gift, and the mygo guys even had team-building uniforms.

It was unrealistic to expect the girls to suddenly put down their bowls and chopsticks while eating and run to change clothes, so Kashiwa Miki and Aine just opened the small gifts and gave them to everyone.

"Tomorin, this is the crystal ball I bought for you. Isn't it beautiful?"

"It's so beautiful... It's so sparkling, like snow, so beautiful!"

Those who like to pick up stones and put them as a small lamp on the bedside are now in trouble. Which stone collection should this beautiful little crystal ball replace?

"Rikki, I remember you complaining about not being able to sleep well during your nap. This is the eye mask I bought for you!"

Li Xi blushed a little, but still reached out to take the panda eye mask that Aiyin had bought after running to several stores. He didn't dare to put it on in public, but gestured to his face.

“Very… not bad. It’s rare that Aine has such good taste. It’s really rare.”

Su Shi had an extra scarf in her hand. Judging from the style, it should be a Christmas style... But it's only October now? Isn't Christmas still a long time away?

"Soyorin, you promised to knit me a scarf, and now I'm giving you the pattern~"

Su Shi felt a little headache, and pinched Aine's ear in a somewhat annoyed yet doting manner: "So this is the one you like, I thought you bought it because you thought I might be cold."

"Actually, I do have one...but I want to wear the same scarf as Soyorin!"

Looking at Su Shi and Aine playing and fighting together, Xiangzi just felt that his life now was so good. His friends were surrounding him, and there was the man he liked behind him... Actually, he didn't necessarily have the doctor behind him. At least when he encountered some insignificant but not serious problems, the doctor would run away quickly.

All in all, it was a very happy moment, but Xiangzi just didn't expect that he would be included in the gift.

"Saki-chan, I don't quite understand what you like, so please, Ke-chan bought it. Just as long as you like it!"

Aiyin mysteriously handed a small calfskin bag to the bewildered Xiangzi, and politely poked Xiangzi's plump cheek, signaling Xiangzi to open it quickly and take a look.

"Thank you, Aine. What is this... a receipt?"

Two palm-sized brown paper bags were filled with mostly pilling, soft plastic. The only thing of value was a receipt from a music store in Shibuya... Holy crap! That amount!

"I can't have it, it's too expensive!"

Xiangzi directly rejected Ain's kindness and returned the receipt to Ain, which allowed him to pick up the newly issued luxury effects pedal worth hundreds of thousands of yen directly at the music store.

In response, Kashiwa Sanhui forcefully thrust the receipt into Xiangzi's hands. "It's you who keeps nagging about buying a pedal, it's you who saves money and skips meals, and now it's you who thinks it's too expensive and refuses to accept it. Miss Toyokawa Xiangzi, could you please stop being so awkward?"

Xiangzi felt a little aggrieved. He just felt that he and Aine were not particularly close friends, and it would be impolite to accept the gift. Was there anything wrong with that?

"But it's too expensive. It's not on the same level as Su Shi and the others' gifts!"

"Gifts are only about whether you like them or not, and whether they're suitable or not. There's no such thing as expensive or not!" Kashiwa Sanhui completely ignored Xiangzi's traditional Japanese values. "Do you want it? If not, I'll return it and buy a more expensive one. I've got plenty of money anyway."

It turned out that the doctor paid for it, so I had to accept it - Xiangzi's expression did not change at all. He not only accepted the money with a smile and put it in his pocket, but also sat down and continued to eat with peace of mind.

"Okay then, thank you, Aine-san, and thank you, doctor~"

……

what?

If it were me, would I have accepted it? Am I the one who is being sentimental?

In fact, Kashiwa Sanhui's condition is also quite serious. She has been spending more time with Xiao Nina these days, so her passive ability now is that thorns will appear on her body when she is in a bad mood... Just kidding, Xiangzi just realized that he was trying to give her a way out.

"Come to think of it," Deng asked, a little puzzled, having played with the crystal ball for the time being. "What's the doctor's gift...? And Lenai's... right?"

"Yes!" Aiyin mysteriously took out a bag of small cookies, long and narrow, with chocolate on one end and wheat biscuits on the other.

"It's Pokey! If you're willing, Ke-chan can come with me... Hey hey hey, don't be impatient, Ke-chan!"

Are you kidding? I don't want to play an ambiguous pokey game with you. I'll get nothing except losing my job - Kashiwa Sanhui snatched it away and stuffed it into his windbreaker pocket as if it had never appeared.

"Now let's just figure out whether or not little Lenai has a gift."

"Of course I do. I just want to give it to her personally, but I can't find little Lenai..."

Kashiwa Sanhui feels a little guilty...

It's all Xiangzi's fault for always ordering others around! I can only trouble Xiao Lenai.
